Excellent!
I am from Bosnia, but I am living abroad.
My friends decide to visit Bosnia, so I was there, but I really want them to show everything.
I found Meet Bosnia Travel by the reviews on google and trip advisor, after so many wonderful reviews.
We took this trip
This is something what everyone should take. The guide Adnan was very knowledgeable, charming like bosnian, polite, funny. He was complete guide.
My friends they asked a lot of questions, I answered on some of them, but the guide he knows absolutely everything.
There is also a lot of stories that he told as about the places, also stories behind the bridges.
Best regards.
Thank you a lot.
Hvala Vam mnogo.
We can only recommend this trip. Everything was well organized and our tour guides Mili and Ahmed, were really great and very friendly. With them it felt like going on a trip with friends and not like a commercial trip. We definetley enjoyed the whole day!
This review is long over due.
My apologies to Meet Bosnia Travel and all the people in the office who helped me get organised.
I was involved with ‘MBT’ for the best part of 4 to 5 weeks. Using their expertise and flexibility to create my own personal travel experience throughout ‘FY’.
From Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina, to Serbia and Macedonia(now North Macedonia) and from Albania to Montenegro. MBT worked closely with me from our initial discussion until shortly before I was due to fly home. I would never have organised and gone to the places I went without their local and regional knowledge and expertise.
I would have periods were I would be doing my own thing throughout my time in FY, but when it was time to move on from one place to another, special on-route visits to unusual places of interest and get a traditional meal, I would just call and make the necessary arrangements. No drama.
I was lucky to have a personal tour guide and driver when on adventures. Someone to not only get me from A to B, but a companion. A translator by my side when needed. Someone to make me feel less of a toursit and more of a vistor.
I had a phenomenal time last year with this tour company and I’m positive they will have longevity in their superb business. There is so many details and experiences I will not put down here, but be reassured it was worth every £€$.
